Dawn on Peyvand

First impressions? A handsome, well-dressed man, although slightly late due to a venue mix-up. But rightly flustered and apologetic.What did you talk about? His love of kebabs v my veganism; did WMDs exist; our relative respect or otherwise for Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell; approaching "age issues"; his Iranian background; my love of Preston.Any awkward moments? Only before he arrived, when I was working out whether I should still eat or go if he didn't turn up!Good table manners? A total gentleman.Best thing about him? Very chatty and funny, so we were both at ease very quickly, despite the artificial situation.Did you go on somewhere? No, readers, I'm sorry, we did not.Marks out of 10? His seeming addiction to kebabs I think precludes rating him, but I'm sure if he finds the right omnivorous girl, he'll be sorted.Would you meet again? It'd be great to see him doing standup, so it would be good to keep in touch.

Peyvand on Dawn

First impressions? Very healthy for a vegan. I'd been expecting an emaciated woman on a gurney.What did you talk about? Kebabs; the ethics of eating animals; turning 40; life; dreams. She wasn't impressed when I said by eating lamb I am, in fact, communing with the sheep. Tony Blair came up. So did Mr Campbell. Any awkward moments? I'm not sure she was convinced by the parallel I drew between Blair and a deranged gunman. Good table manners? Yes. Hers were, too. Best thing about her? Fantastic sense of humour. And for a vegan she was disappointingly sane.Did you go on somewhere? Yes. She went to the tube and I went to my car.Marks out of 10?11.Would you meet again? Let's just say we differ on whether Alastair Campbell has explaining to do to the families of a lot of dead Iraqis.
